‘The legal procedure is invalid, it was badly done, and it needs to be done again,’ they are the ones there who speak in accordance with the Teaching.” These five contracted sections are finished. 26. Discussion of disputes on the legal procedure of reconciliation “It may be that a monk abuses and reviles householders. The monks consider, ‘This monk abuses and reviles householders. Well then, let’s do a legal procedure of reconciliation against him.’ They do the procedure— illegitimately and with an incomplete assembly. … illegitimately but with a unanimous assembly. …

The group of forty-three on to be lifted “When a monk has five qualities, a legal procedure of ejecting him for not giving up a bad view should be lifted: he doesn’t give the full ordination; he doesn’t give formal support; he doesn’t have a novice monk attend on him; he doesn’t accept being appointed as an instructor of the nuns; he doesn’t instruct the nuns, whether appointed or not. When a monk has another five qualities, a procedure of ejecting him for not giving up a bad view should be lifted: he doesn’t commit the same offense as the offense for which the Sangha did the procedure of ejecting him for not giving up a bad view; he doesn’t commit an offense similar to the one for which the Sangha did the procedure of ejecting him for not giving up a bad view; he doesn’t commit an offense worse than the one for which the Sangha did the procedure of ejecting him for not giving up a bad view;

They told the Buddha. “The nun who is giving the full ordination should ask about twenty-four obstacles. And it should be done like this: ‘Do you lack genitals? Are your genitals incomplete? Do you not menstruate? Do you menstruate continuously? Do you always wear a menstruation pad? Are you incontinent? Do you have genital prolapse? Do you lack sexual organs? Are you manlike? Do you have fistula? Are you a hermaphrodite? Do you have any of these diseases:

If the robe is damp, he should sun it for a short while, but shouldn’t leave it in the heat. He should fold the robe, offsetting the edges by seven centimeters, so that the fold doesn’t become worn. He should place the belt in the fold. If there is almsfood and his teacher wants to eat, the pupil should give him water and then the almsfood. He should ask his teacher if he wants water to drink. When the teacher has eaten, the pupil should give him water and receive his bowl. Holding it low, he should wash it carefully without scratching it. He should then dry it and sun it for a short while, but shouldn’t leave it in the heat. The pupil should put away the robe and bowl. When putting away the bowl, he should hold the bowl in one hand, feel under the bed or the bench with the other, and then put it away.

People complained and criticized them, “They’re just like householders who indulge in worldly pleasures!” They told the Buddha. “You shouldn’t wear sandals that are entirely blue, entirely yellow, entirely red, entirely magenta, entirely black, entirely orange, or entirely beige.

The monk who’s been ejected by the Sangha for not giving up a bad view should approach the Sangha, arrange his upper robe over one shoulder, pay respect at the feet of the senior monks, squat on his heels, raise his joined palms, and say, ‘Venerables, the Sangha has done a legal procedure of ejecting me for not giving up a bad view. I’m now conducting myself properly and suitably, and deserve to be released. I ask for that legal procedure to be lifted.’ And he should ask a second and a third time.

They told the Buddha. “The nuns should instruct first and then ask about the obstacles.” They instructed them right there in the midst of the Sangha. Once again those seeking the full ordination were embarrassed, humiliated, and unable to respond. They told the Buddha. “The nuns should instruct them at a distance and then ask about the obstacles in the midst of the Sangha. And it should be done like this. First the candidate should be told to choose a preceptor. Her bowl and robes should then be pointed out to her: ‘This is your bowl, this your outer robe, this your upper robe, this your sarong, this your chest wrap, and this your bathing robe.

He removed his sandals, approached the Buddha, and bowed. He then bowed to the attendant monk and asked him,

Now please go and stand over there.’” They were instructed by nuns who were ignorant and incompetent. And because they were badly instructed, they were once again embarrassed, humiliated, and unable to respond. They told the Buddha. “A nun who’s ignorant and incompetent shouldn’t instruct.
